"Iron Man 2" Stars Step Out in LA

Spending the afternoon on the blue carpet, some of the biggest names in Hollywood teamed up for press duties at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles, California on Friday (April 23).

Having just flown into town from NYC, Gwyneth Paltrow looked elegant in a fancy grey frock as she joined co-stars Robert Downey Jr and Scarlett Johansson to attend a photo call for their new movie, "Iron Man 2".

Also on-hand for the Paramount Pictures/Marvel Entertainment festivities were Mickey Rourke, Don Cheadle and the movie's director, Jon Favreau.

Due in theaters on May 7th, a plot synopsis via IMDB tells: "With the world now aware of his dual life as the armored superhero Iron Man, billionaire inventor Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) faces pressure from the government, the press, and the public to share his technology with the military. Unwilling to let go of his invention, Stark, along with Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), and James "Rhodey" Rhodes (Don Cheadle) at his side, must forge new alliances -- and confront powerful enemies."
